Student beat ‘world-class’ security to steal from vet

A student managed to bypass a world-class till security system and steal thousands of euro from an animal hospital.

The thief, who stole so much cash from the Donegal Animal Hospital it almost led to its closure, was fined €4,000 and jailed for 21 months, suspended for two years.

The owner of the company was so outraged at the theft at the hands of his former employee that he donated his compensation cheque of €4,064 to charity.
